i like liberal comedy, don't get me wrong, it's funnier which, whatever is deemed comic in the libertarian community... but i wonder... how much of liberal comedy, would be deemed comedy... without the over-arching presence of... canned laughter? no... the shtick still gets me, the diarrhoea gimmick... akin to dumb & dumber or american pie? get me all the time... the new voice of rekindling slapstick classic humor... taking a ****... maybe i'm just too infantile in my comedy palette... maybe the whole, elaboration technique surrounding, what used to be English satire and became... English ridicule is boring, it's boorish... it's... English satire: yes... English ridicule? a crass *******'s worth of a shave baboon... the English can't do ridicule: they do rhetoric... you can't tell jokes that way... you look like... a ******* amputee about to embark on painting a Rembrandt in the amputee Olympics of associated painters of the Louvre... thank god i'm not English... not even remotely... identity politics, what?! i already said... Paul-with-a-lack... a Paul-without-a-flagpole... ******... wait... do i look like a ******* meringue? i abhor the sort of "funny" where the, "funny" implies i have to "think" about the joke... just give me the ventriloquism and the body language... intelligence has no place in serving up humor... if it was necessary... i'd ask for a...butter chicken curry... with coriander and mint chutney... so what makes liberal comedy, so, "funny"? you sure you're not being duped by the canned laughter prompt? i've seen how a television show is made... the crowd are giving placard prompts... when and when not to react... what with and how not to react... mostly the placards read: BOO and APPLAUSE / CHEER... all very much Stepford Wives type of *******, and we're only talking Channel 5, Big Brother coverage... so... liberal humor... base? canned laughter... i hate canned laughter... it's not that i'm too either laugh or not to laugh... but canned laughter disorientates the whole purpose of humor... was i supposed to be laughing when the canned laughter button was pressed?! well... the humor isn't as obvious, isn't not slapstick humor, it's... intelligent humor, it's pure, unadulterated witticism... it's not the classic spin off of an actor : con-contra schadenfreude... now comedy has found a, "new" intelligence... now comedy can't be funny ha ha, i.e. funny per se... it needs to be... "intelligent"... witty... rhapsodic... sophisticated in rhetoric... now blue, nothing out of the blue... that **** is just out-dated... what was once a slapstick... base of humor... is only funny in a boxing match with a knock-out... the more intelligent comedy became, the less profound a tragedy incubated the equilibrium... a tragedy of of "hurt emotions"? but no trauma akin to Macbeth? no grandiose verbiage?! this? this is it? the 'i'm offended' line? no wonder comedy it trying to become more intelligent.
